It seems to be VERY individual - whether one can learn to get out easy or not, based on experience from those having these suits for a while 8)

I have tried them but even after hours of trying different ways, it does not work at all for me - either impossible (as I am not very flexible), or at least so troublesome to get out of, so I will never have one of these :(

Getting in/out of the wetsuit easy and fast is my main priority - also the reason I often change from the 3/2 autumn fullsuit and almost directly to the drysuit (at least when I need boots, the wetsuit is out of the question) - and only using the 5/3 fullsuit for maybe one month typically...
As a drysuit is way faster and easier than a 5/3 IMO.

But agree - that non-zip suits ARE more flexible and fits better :naughty:

Just not usable for me :roll:

Different people different likings - some will never get used to non-zip, others have no problems :rollgrin:

:D Peter

It does not seem easy for everyone... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qN5AxZ-tj0


If you are very deltashaped (and windsurfers and surfriders usually got really wide shoulders after many years - and most kitesurfers origin from these sports here), and you are not very flexible - so you can not reach with your opposite hand/thumb on the back/outside of your shoulder, you are :x :x :x

So despite knowing exactly how to get out, I have really difficulties reaching and doing it...


Then there is the COMPLETELY opposite model - the easiest one to get in/out of ha haa : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4FFjlCp6II
